What is an Onlyfans niche?

As an Onlyfans creator, you are a business owner, and your content is the product. As such you need to learn the basics of marketing, and a big part of this is:

  • Working out who your potential customers ad target audience are
  • Finding out where these customers are and how to reach them

For example, if a company was marketing a football related product, then it would not make much sense for them promote their products on platforms where most of the users were female, such as Pinterest, as most football fans are male.

Niches on Onlyfans are the tools that you use to find the specific audience that will want your content and be willing to spend money on you. Onlyfans niche refers to the categorisation of your page and content.

Niches are incredibly diverse, and cover all sorts of different areas. They can be related to things such as your physical attributes, such as Big Boobs, BBW, Big Ass etc. Others can be related to your ethnicity i.e. Black, White, Asian etc.

However, the most popular niches are based on the type of model you are and content you create, such as Amateur, MILF, Gamer Girl, Trans, Dominatrix. These are the niches that it is best to look into to find your Onlyfans identity.

Of course, it is possible to also make money on Onlyfans by creating Safe For Work (SFW) content. In 2023, it was estimated that around 70% of Onlyfans creators were classed as NSFW, or adult content, with the remaining 30% were creating SFW content. We have given an overview of the SFW niche landscape below, but the majority of this article is focused on the NSFW niches.

Why is an Onlyfans niche important?

Everybody is different. Not only Onlyfans creators, but also Onlyfans users. Everyone has their own preferences, styles, what they like to do and see, and to spend their money on. Not everyone will like your content of course, but because people’s tastes and, with NSFW content, kinks, are all different, you can be sure that you WILL be able to find an audience on Onlyfans!

But to do so, you need to ensure that you carefully select the niche that is perfect for you and your content, as this will ensure that you are getting your channel in front of the types of users that enjoy the type of content you create. This will lead to more subscribers joining your Onlyfans channel, plus these subscribers will stay as paying customers for longer. In addition, the identification of your niche will have other benefits:

Knowledge and Specialisation

Trying to target every user on Onlyfans is impossible. But once you find your niche, you can learn all about that specific niche, what the fans in that niche like, what marketing works and more. You become an expert within a smaller set of users, which is WAY easier than trying to understand the full Onlyfans ecosystem.

Social Media & Other Promotion

If there is a niche on Onlyfans where the audience for that content congregates, then you can be very sure that there will be similar groups on all of the social media platforms, and on other great places to promote your Onlyfans, like Reddit. Find your right niche and you can quickly know all of the groups on the socials and the subreddits where the niche fans hang out.

Do I need to choose a niche?

The answer to this can only be yes! There are so many benefits of knowing what your particular niche is, and what is going to suit you and your content. The closer the niche is to what you like, what you enjoy, what you feel comfortable with, and very important, what is authentic to you, the more fun your Onlyfans journey will be, and the more money you will make.

Like any form of marketing, it is about finding your audience, and your tribe. Find the unique niche that fits you, and you have way more chance of building up followers who have a high level of brand loyalty.

How to find your Onlyfans niche

The process of finding the right Onlyfans niche for you is best if you can break it down, and it can help to follow these steps:

1) What are your interests and characteristics?

As we will say time and time again in this article, authenticity is key on Onlyfans. People want to subscribe and spend with creators that they have a genuine connection with, and so you will ALWAYS be more successful if you are true to yourself, and choose a nice the aligns with your interests, passions and characteristics.

So, make a list of the things that you think are your key attributes and features. For example:

  • Interests – for example are you sporty, and have a super athletic build? Or do you love gaming?
  • Personal Charactistics – are you a BBW, or super cute? An older model, or a girl next door type? Be honest and open, and even ask your friends what they think.
  • Content Level – it is crucial to identify the content level you are happy with. Don’t choose a niche where the content is very explicit if you dont feel comfortable with it! If you do, you simply won’t enjoy your Onlyfans experience. Don’t feel pressure to do more than you want, choose a niche that has a content level you can work with. There are fans out there for all sorts of content!

Once you have this list, it should then start to suggest the types of niches that would suit you.

2) Is the niche too big or too small?

Some niches are absolutely huge on Onlyfans. For example, the Gamer Girl niche has an enormous amount of creators fighting for the fans. This does not mean that you cannot make it work in the niche, but it will be more competitive. However it can be possible to identify a sub niche within the main niche that works for you.

On the other hand, there are also some niches that are very small, and you will struggle to find enough subscribers to make a decent amount of revenue.

3) Identify and analyse your competitors

Now you have your list of potential niches, then start to look around at other creators within that niche. On Onlyfans, it is not possible to view the content on a channel without subscribing, so you ahve the following possibilities to do your research:

Look at profiles. You can see the information in the creator profile without subscribing, so you can analyse what they have here to see what they are sharing.

Subscribe for free. There are many Onlyfans creators who allow fans to subscribe for free, and then they make money by upselling their PPV content. Identify some of these creators, and subscribe, so you can see what content they are producing, and what is getting the most engagement.

Subscribe to paid pages. It is also worth to spend some money to subscribe to some competitor creators, as you can get valuable information from this. Of course this needs to not be too many, so choose the few you subscribe to wisely. This will be money well worth spending, as it will give you very valuable data on your chosen niche, and what works.

4) Work out how you fit into your chosen niche

Once you have followed the above steps, you will have a large amount of knowledge about the niche. You can then think about what you can offer. Are there any gaps in what other creators are offering that you can fill to gain subscribers?

5) Start creating content and test your strategy

Now you have done your research, you can create your Onlyfans page, and start creating your content so you can test out your strategy.

You can, of course, target multiple niches, but bear in mind that it will increase the amount of research you will need to do.

Don’t forget authenticity!

Whilst it is important to find a niche that is popular, it is actually more important to make sure that any niche you target is authentic to you. Fans on Onlyfans value authenticity above everything else, and this applies across all niches. These fans know their niches, and they can spot a fake from miles away! If fans think you are not authentic, then they will not subscribe or spend money on your content.

Therefore, it is crucial to make sure that you fit in your chosen niche. Don’t just create for a niche because you think it will make the most money, you will always make much more money from being yourself!

If you are not a MILF, then it is probably not going to work if you target the MILF niche.

Onlyfans SFW niches

Whilst 70% of Onlyfans creators are classed as NSFW content or adult content, that still leaves a massive 30% that are creating content that is non adult or SFW.
